King Charles has taken a harsh stance against his younger brother

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice will keep their royal titles despite Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's painful demise.

The news comes as their father, formally known as Prince Andrew, will now be referred to as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, having been stripped of his title by King Charles.


A statement from Buckingham Palace has been issued, reading: "His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

"His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

"Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

"Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are not working royals, despite being HRH Princesses since birth.

The two princesses do not carry out official duties on behalf of the King, having chosen instead to carry out private careers.

In 2018, Eugenie tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank, and the couple now have two sons.

Similarly, Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, and the couple have two daughters.

Tonight's removal process applies to Andrew’s titles of Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and the style "His Royal Highness".

The honours affected are Prince Andrew’s Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.

GB News understands that King Charles acted swiftly following recent developments, which led to his brother relinquishing the use of his titles and honours as soon and efficiently possible.

These developments are thought to have required time, legal and constitutional expertise, and support from the wider family to bring about.

Andrew's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, will keep their princess titles.

The People's Channel also understands that King Charles has not opted to abolish the Dukedom via an Act of Parliament, as that would take up precious Parliamentary time, and is doing all he can within his own Royal Prerogative.

The 65-year-old is also expected to move to a property on the private Sandringham estate.

It is also thought that his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, will make her own arrangements regarding a place to live.
